20 Awesome Stationery Designs

Stationery is not always the most Exciting of print products! I have seen many business cards, letterhead, and envelope sets that have filled me with design despair with their lack of vision and originality! Unfortunately, I suspect that designers don’t give stationery enough thought and create something that is little more than a logo and line of text on a bit of paper!!!

It doesn’t have to be so! The following stationery designs by some insanely talented graphic design professionals is proof that corporate identity can be as cool, sophisticated, and interesting as you want to make it! I hope these brilliant designs give you the inspiration you need to create your own outstanding stationery

    Excellent article!! I know when I first started designing, the entire print side of things was wild and really hard to comprehend – why would my nice, bright designs come back from the printers all dull?! I didn’t get it, b’coz it’s not talked about adequate, even at uni. So thanks for this article. The more we all talk about it, the better.

    Nice collection, however some of these might require a custom stock and cut size for them to print easily…

    Great work and nice tutorial. Love the design. Not everything has to be done in Indesign, Illustrator is very capable. I would also encourage designers to look into xara designer pro, for me it outshines illustrator in many ways.
